A funding page has been set up to raise money for information about a missing pet dog.

Dakota the Siberian Husky went missing on November 10 from the Stoneyford area of Lisburn while out on his daily walk with his owner Malachy McFall.

Family friend Tara Ferris said: "Malachy is desperate to get Dakota back and we've had several moments of hope in the past few weeks but they have come to nothing.

"Now we have decided to try to raise £300 to be able to give as an award to the person who gets us the information that that brings Dakota home.

"Dakota was off lead when he vanished. It was very unusual for him because he had been trained off the lead from the age of 10 weeks old and he's six years old now.

"He normally ran on a little bit ahead of Malachy on his walks but always waited for him to catch up for but for some reason on this day he didn't and he just vanished.

"Malachy has been searching day and night to find his boy who is friendly natured and good with other dogs. All he wants is for him to be found and back home where he belongs and that's why we're hoping to raise money for a reward for Dakota's return."

A Facebook page for possibly sightings of Dakota has also been set up.
